Our Android device client uses Google's secure push notification service for instant delivery of Pushover messages without a dedicated polling service to waste battery power or bandwidth. Requires at least Android 2.3 and is optimized for Android 4 and Android 5.

Pushover for Android also includes a widget that can be added to the home screen to quickly view notifications (requires Android 4). A lock-screen widget is also available for Android 4.2, as well as an integrated DashClock extension for showing unread notifications on the lock screen. For Tasker users, Pushover includes a Tasker action plugin.

Pushover for iOS uses new functionality in iOS 7 to do background updates when you receive notifications, making your messages arrive faster and ready as soon as you open the application. For iOS 8, Pushover now includes notification actions to open URLs and acknowledge messages right from the notification center.

For Apple Watch users, Pushover includes an Apple Watch app to view and acknowledge notifications on the watch, as well as scroll through past messages

While these applications use our official API, we cannot vouch for their security or reliability and users must use them at their own risk. All technical support requests for these apps must be directed to the authors of the specific application.

Note: usage of any Pushover Open Client applications after 7 days requires a one-time purchase of a Pushover for Desktop license directly from our website (in addition to any possible fees imposed by the author of the software). One Desktop license is valid for all Open Client devices on your account (as well as our own Desktop client).
